you don't put polyfill in the holes until after its colonized and you take the trash bag off right? just wanna double check

Duct tape holes til it colonizes... Take out & put poly in when it finishes.

Trash bag goes inside the tub as a liner, not outside to keep light away.

You can make your whole FC out of duct tape if you want.  :lol:

It'll be fine.  Dial your tub in without the extra holes at first, but always keep in mind that you have the option of using those holes if the need arises.

You can always leave a couple taped up, or stuff em if you like...

If your sub looks like its drying out then add more poly or tape them off.

This.

Though I have to say that IME, when it's super cold and winter dry I use a black contractor bag to cover each monotub during bulk colonization, and it really helps with even mycelium growth across my entire tub.

Having said that, this is what works for me in the winter. Others doing it may make no difference at all.

I used to cover my tubs. But after tub after tub i have come to realize that the colonizing times is not slowed down at all since i now just have them colonizing in the open room light. in fact they seem to colonize a whole lot better out in the open. Light is benificial to all stages of growth.

ok and the outside was only taped, do both sides need to be taped? will spores get into the stickiness?

do not tape the inside. Next time use a liner. Your substrate will shrink in time and your outside duct tape will not be effective once the substrate moves away from the wall of the tub. The liner sticks to and shrinks with the substrate. Use either plastic garbage bags or a roll of black plastic.

I really should do a side by side test run one of these days...

ive done a side by side before, but it was with ms tubs so ehh.. but i feel as if my tubs now left out and on the other side of the room colonize better than covered in the dark. and they can breath. but thats just what i have found in my own experiences.

Yeah, I'm starting up another dozen jars for a couple of monos here today (PCed yesterday) and I think I'll skip the bag and see how they do.

My only concern is that the lids on my tubs don't fit perfectly, and since my house is ancient and frankly a dusty filthy mess, I worry about contams floating through before the myc gets a good head start.

Time will tell, and I'm gonna do it bagless on the next run regardless.
